Biden speaks in Israel - 10/18 (FULL LIVE STREAM)

Join Post reporters as President Biden makes an extraordinary visit to Tel Aviv, amid Israel’s ongoing war with Hamas. Biden flew to the Middle East overnight Tuesday at a time of high instability in the region. Tensions rose yet further after a blast at al-Ahli Hospital in central Gaza City that the Palestinian Health Ministry said killed hundreds of people, with Hamas and Israel blaming each other. A summit that the president was to attend in Amman, Jordan, was abruptly canceled. Biden plans to meet with families in Israel that are mourning the killings of loved ones by Hamas or are worrying about missing loved ones whose status is unknown, White House spokesman John Kirby said late Tuesday aboard Air Force One. The president embraced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on arriving at Tel Aviv airport in a show of support for the Israeli government.
